I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
Steve Buscemi

I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.
Steve Buscemi

Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.

I guess I don't think about age too much. I've always felt older than I really am anyway. I'm not dreading getting older. I don't miss the anxiety of being younger and not knowing what you want or where you’re going.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.
Steve Buscemi
Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.
Steve Buscemi
I don't tend to think of the characters i play as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.
Steve Buscemi
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
Steve Buscemi
Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: OK, what if you tried this? or What would happen if ... ?
Steve Buscemi
I hope I don't make it sound like it's this big to-do, but even putting on real cufflinks takes work.
Steve Buscemi
I have a dresser, who literally is a guy who makes sure the tie is right. It's a little bit of a process. I could probably do it by myself, but it would take me three times as long.
Steve Buscemi
I don't think I'm that much different from any other working actor that's trying to make a living.
Steve Buscemi
I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.
Steve Buscemi
Whenever you do something that is in a continuous take, and something that we're not used to doing, because it was all in the details of if you don't make one move seem natural it can give away all of it.
Steve Buscemi
I've had dentists who have wanted to help me out, but I say, 'You know, I won't work again if you fix my teeth.'
